Instant Coffee? I’m Never Going Back!
I absolutely love my De’Longhi La Specialista\. I’ve gone from drinking four or five cups of instant coffee a day to having just two or three genuinely café\-quality coffees at home, and I honestly can’t imagine going back\. I was a little unsure about making the switch to a proper espresso machine, but I’ve found the La Specialista incredibly easy to use\. It makes the whole process feel simple rather than intimidating, and I love being able to make a really good coffee exactly the way I like it without having to leave home\. One of the biggest surprises has been the cold brew\. I didn’t expect to use that feature nearly as much as I do, but it is absolutely delicious and has quickly become one of my favourite things about the machine\. The coffee tastes fantastic, the machine is easy to use, and I’m drinking less coffee while enjoying it so much more\. Easily one of my favourite purchases — highly recommend!

Delonghi La Specialista
Great machine and easy to use. Coming from the manual process every morning La Specialista has improved my daily routine and the consistency of my coffee. Saving my settings for a one button process would make it the perfect machine.

Helpful staff and good price
This product was purchased for a future gift so not yet used, however after doing some research and speaking to staff, I found that this coffee machine offered some excellent additional features at a great price. Features including cold press, automatic or manual milk frothing and digital screen. The item is also compact and will fit within limited space areas. The stainless steel surface looks good and is also resilient to marking. Happy with the purchase.

One of the best coffees I’ve tasted
Easy to use- I make lattes- adjusting bean grind and dose is easy and auto frother makes perfect milk every time. I’ve used 3 different machines and this is the best- by a long shot!

Coffee in no time
This is my first coffee machine i’ve ever bought. Purchased as a gift for my husbands birthday and i’ve now also converted to drinking coffee. Positives - Good value easy to set up and use (after adjusting the grinder) Touch screen commands - so easy and i love visuals. Lots of different coffee options available and the ability to add your own. Personalise a few options to your liking. looks nice and not overly big. Negatives - can’t think of any yet Overall- very happy with this choice of machine as our first one.

Its touchscreen, integrated grinder, and automatic milk texturing make daily use easier. It suits beginners stepping up and regular home baristas, though dedicated enthusiasts may prefer more fully manual control.
What it’s great for
- Home espresso
- Milk-based coffee

Where it works best
- Home kitchen
- Family household
- Apartment kitchen
- Entertaining area
Who it’s for
- Beginner home barista
- Espresso enthusiast wanting guidance
- Busy household coffee drinker
- Milk coffee lover
Things to consider
It offers strong guidance and convenience features, but specialist manual machines can provide deeper shot customisation and more traditional hands-on control for advanced users.
Barista experience suitability
Intermediate to advanced beginner
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - Guided features and an automatic milk texturing system simplify day-to-day use, but a grinder, steam wand, and manual coffee workflow still mean regular cleaning.
Beginner friendliness
8/10 - The touch display, preset recipes, and bean-matching assistance make it easier to learn than a fully traditional manual machine.
Counter space suitability
Best for medium to larger kitchen benches
Noise level vs category average
About average - the integrated grinder adds noticeable sound, which is typical for manual espresso machines with built-in grinding.
Key benefits
- Integrated Grinder: Built-in grinding lets you use fresh beans for each coffee without needing a separate grinder.
- 15 Grind Settings: Up to 15 settings give you room to fine-tune extraction for different beans and taste preferences.
- Bean Adapt Technology: Helps match brewing parameters to your beans, reducing guesswork when changing roast styles.
- Thermoblock Heating System: Maintains stable brewing temperature for more consistent espresso preparation.
- Auto LatteArt Steam Wand: Automatically textures dairy and plant-based milk, making milk drinks easier to prepare at home.
- Cold Extraction Technology: Prepares cold brew quickly, offering a faster alternative to overnight steeping.
- 3.5 Inch Touch Display: The guided touchscreen makes drink selection and setup easier for less experienced users.
- 1.8 L Water Tank: The 1.8 L capacity supports multiple coffees per day with fewer refills.
Q: Is the DeLonghi La Specialista Touch EC9455M a good choice for beginners moving on from instant or pod coffee?
A: Yes. The 3.5 inch touchscreen, guided workflow and six pre-set recipes make it easier to learn than a traditional manual machine. It still uses fresh beans and espresso-style prep, so expect some dial-in when changing coffee beans.
Q: Is the EC9455M fully automatic, or does it still need manual input?
A: It is a guided manual coffee machine, not a fully automatic bean-to-cup model. The touchscreen, grinder and recipe programs simplify the process, but grind choice, dosing results and bean changes still affect the final espresso.
Q: What does Bean Adapt Technology do on the DeLonghi EC9455M?
A: Bean Adapt Technology helps match brewing settings to the beans being used, which can reduce trial and error. It is most useful when switching roast styles, but it does not remove the need to fine-tune grind settings for taste.
Q: How much control does this machine give you over espresso extraction?
A: The EC9455M gives more control than a push-button coffee machine thanks to its burr grinder with 15 settings and PID temperature control. That matters if different beans need a finer grind or steadier heat to pour balanced shots.
Q: Is the cold brew function on the La Specialista Touch the same as overnight cold brew?
A: No. This machine uses a dedicated cold brew program rather than a long overnight steep, so it is designed for faster preparation at home. The result is convenient and smooth, but it will differ from a traditional 12 to 24 hour brew.
Q: Is the 1.8L water tank large enough for a household making several coffees a day?
A: Yes. A 1.8L tank is practical for regular daily use and cuts down on refills compared with smaller home machines. Keep in mind this is still a manual-style model, so making several back-to-back milk coffees takes more hands-on time.
